Treatment Overview
Periorbital Wrinkle Reduction with Thermage FLX is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) procedure performed in Korea to smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Thermage FLX delivers controlled monopolar RF energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and remodeling to tighten delicate periorbital skin.
This treatment addresses crow’s feet, under-eye lines, and eyelid laxity without surgery. When combined with Juvelook skin boosters, it enhances hydration, elasticity, and skin firmness, creating a refreshed, youthful eye appearance.
